At any one moment they care for upwards of 500 residents, forming a multi-species community which has informed the way pattrice navigates, writes about, and changes the world. In this episode jones candidly shares the stories of residents who are brave escapees of animal agriculture and speaks to the ways in which homophobia and speciesism intersect. pattrice also gives practical advice on finding balance in your activism in a world where so many issues deserve our attention at any one moment, and what to do when we make mistakes in social justice movements. “As activists and advocates for animals, we need to help break the backgrounding and stereotyping of nonhuman animals in part by drawing peoples attention to the diversity — the wondrous diversity — of nonhuman life.” Unruly Travel & Living Blog: wanderwoman.online Unruly email newsletter: https://buff.ly/4a1bPwT Join the Unruly Podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/unrulytravel Vegan pride month challenge: https://www.rainbowvegan.org The Oxen at the Intersection book: https://lanternpm.org/book/the-oxen-at-the-intersection/ NEW: Bird’s Eye Views: https://vinesanctuary.org/birdseye VINE website: https://vinesanctuary.org Donate to VINE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LD99V2YFB9L96 Donate to the podcast: SoundCloud - @unrulystories,Venmo - @unruytravel Unruly Travellers Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/unrulytravellers/Contact: [e-mail] Unruly Instagram: www.instagram.com/unruly_traveller/
